I've got a really irritating problem and am not shure where to look. I get a kernel page fault every time I try to compile something. Has anyone else seen this?
My next step is probably to try a custom kernel or an old one. Recommendations?
Background:
Pogoplug E02, fresh install of uboot & Wheezy. The disk is a western digital USB drive adapter with a SATA SSD.
Linux hostname 3.2.0-2-kirkwood #1 Mon Apr 30 23:13:18 UTC 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux
All software runs fine, modules load, play sound. It all looks good. ... until I try to compile something.
I've tried removing the soundcard, no difference there.
# starting with netcat, just more complicated than hello world.
cc -s -o nc netcat.c
